SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 740,001, datedSeptember 29, 1903.

Application filed January 16,1903. Serial No. 139,342. (N0 mvdeL) To allwhom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Hnsscnn HENDERSON FLANAe1N,.a citizen of the UnitedStates, re-

siding at Bellaire, in the county of Antrim and State. of Michigan, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Store-Cabinets; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates particularly to cabinets for containing anddisplaying rolls of dry goods, such as silks, trimmings, and the like;and the object of the invention is to produce a cabinet which whenclosed will effectually protect the goods from light and dirt and whenopen will display all its contents for convenient observation andselection.

A further object of the invention is to pro-- duce a cabinet havinglarge capacity in proportion to its size.

With these and other objects in View an embodiment of the invention ishereinafter described and is illustrated in the accom'pa nying drawings,in which Figure 1 is a perspective of thecabinet closed. Fig. 2 is asimilar viewof the cabinet open, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the cabinet includes an uprightrectangular casing, of which the door is indicated at 6, this" and theback 9 of the casing are all provided with rollers 10, adapted toreceive the goods,

ing between the back and the door thereof,

which latter then closes the casing, as shown in Fig. 1, making apractically dust and light proofcabinet for the purpose indicated. Theinfolding construction saves space and yet does not prevent the goodsfrom being readily displayed and got at.

The construction or ornamentation of the cabinet may be as elaborate asthe maker or user may desire, but the essential features are as aboveset out.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is- 1. Acabinet comprising a casing, having a door, a frame hinged at one edgethereof and adapted to swing within the casing, and

a series of rolls on each side of said frame.

2. A cabinet comprising a casing, having a door hinged to one sidethereof, a swinging section hinged to the other side and forming part ofthe inclosing side wall of the casing, and display devices carried bysaid parts.

3. A cabinet comprising a casing, a frame hinged to one side thereof andadapted to swing within the casing, a door hinged to the other side, androllers supported on the back of the casing,-both sides of the frame,and the inside of the door.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
